two alignments and still drifting around the lane?
Alright, I have new front wheel hubs on both sides, a new trac bar, and my cherokee has been aligned two times to make sure, and it still pulls to the left, and sometimes to the right, brand new tires, which I had rotated around to make sure they weren't the problem. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what is going on with this thing. I know someone had told me on here that they had a similar experince with their steering box bad, but what other issues could also be causing this?

Check your rear, make sure its control arms are tight and bushings are good. you dont want that rear walking around. And much more common of a problem, check your tie rods and steering links. Go outside jack up the front end and stick a pipe or pry bar under the tire and see if anything feels loose. Grab the two front tires, one at a time and try to move em left and right by hand see if anything feels loose. Report back and let us know if everything checks out from there.

Things that affect the steering, ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar, CA Bushings, and axle shaft u-joints. Check all of those. Also could be a bad steering gear box.

Alright well I just replaced my passenger caliper with a good one, and I checked everything, twisted the wheels with both off the ground, no play in anything, and it is still drifting to the left, and even more so when I am braking
